Sorry didn't mean to offend. Yes it does - I was always left right out when it came to sport at school. See my eyes don't actually work at the same time I can either see out of my left, or my right, but not both at the same time. The groovy thing is though I can change which one I use

LOL not a matter of offence matey! Oh right, wow that must be quite unusual... and in a way pretty good. It should improve your aim for stuff, I'd have thought?

Yes it is rather odd - and it does mean when I used to do archery I didn't have to close one eye to help me aim! The big drawback though is judging distance - because of a lack of 3D vision it makes it hard to judge from time to time

See my eyes don't actually work at the same time I can either see out of my left, or my right, but not both at the same time. The groovy thing is though I can change which one I use I can alternate between 'strong' eyes too! One of my friends outdoes you - his eyes work independently like yours, but the trouble is one of them's a lazy eye, and he can only control it if he deliberately focuses through that one. Unfortunately the one he has to concentrate on isn't his dominant eye, so he often forgets. It's kinda weird really; you'll be talking to him, and you can pinpoint the exact moment he gets really engrossed in the conversation, 'cause he'll forget to focus and his right eye will just suddenly roll to one side!

Billy are you a chameleon? That would be cool - but alas no. Just a very odd human being!

Yeah my left eye is also lazy - I had it strengthened when I was a kid so it's not too bad now - but if I'm drunk or stoned it tends to turn in and I look a little boss eyed! That's why I don't like having my photo taken when I'm out on the lash!!

We all technically lack 3D vision... that's a bit of a mindjob... if you think about it. But yeah, I'm surprised you're ok for driving, your vision is fine then - except it's one or t'other?

Do we? Well I filled the forms in and they said I was ok!! (Hope no-one on here works for the DVLA! ) Yeah - the potician said each individual eye has brilliant vision, it's just that they don't work together!

Strictly speaking we don't see in 3-d, we just know that things are at different distances - partly through experience! It's also why small kids tend to have dodgy collision detection! No Swansea scum here matey, no worries...! Well there you go, you've got fine eyesight, just need to concentrate harder on which one to look out of when doing certain things (turning right, skiiing, extreme sports....!)
